Thames Path walk from Marlow

Join hosts Cate & Tom (long time members of Cindy’s HSP group) for this picturesque, five and a half mile riverside walk from Marlow to Hurley and back. We’ll start by walking out of town along Pound Lane, before joining the Thames Path and crossing the pretty Temple Footbridge for the first time. We’ll then follow the Thames Path west/upstream, taking in the lovely views. There is the option of a stop at the Hurley Lock, where there are picnic tables, and possibly a tea kiosk if it is open (online details unclear!). Or instead we may wish to continue a little further along the route, into Hurley village and to the historic Olde Bell pub, which dates back to 1135, for a leisurely drink and a break! From there, we’ll return to cross Temple Footbridge again and then follow the Thames Path for the final stretch back into Marlow.

We will meet you round the back of the Resolute Café on Pound Lane, Marlow – see photo below. This smallish café is on the edge of Higginson Park and is an 8-minute walk from the railway station (straight down Station Road, then onto Pound Lane). I will be waiting there from 2pm, in time to set off at 2.10 at the latest.

The walk is entirely flat the whole way (aside from the bridge), but if you have any health or mobility issues it may help to tell us about beforehand, by all means do so. Please wear clothing and footwear appropriate to the weather and bring something to drink on the way.

NB: the event duration is an estimate only.

Newcomers are very welcome; do make contact before the walk if you have any questions or would just like to introduce yourself. We hope this will be a great opportunity to meet other HSPs (though, as with all our events, there is never any pressure to do small talk!).

We will meet you on Pound Lane, round the back of the Resolute Café, in Marlow – see photo/map. Marlow is about a 40 min drive from London. On a Sunday, trains from London to Marlow take just over an hour, changing trains at Maidenhead. The last one before the walk start time gets in at 13.52.

Please RSVP – don’t just turn up –  you’ll need to join Meetup for free and then RSVP to this event
